After Taehyung's shift Jungkook insisted on walking Taehyung home again, they were both getting very comfortable around each other which was making Jungkook's heart swell.
Jungkook kept cracking jokes on the way making Taehyung laugh, sometimes he laughed so hard he had to lean on Jungkook so he wouldn't fall oblivious to how Jungkook's heart was beating faster everytime he had to catch him by the waist.
He liked the sound of Taehyung's laughter especially because he was the one making him laugh.
"you're so funny Jungkook, why were you even sleeping in class in the first place?" Taehyung laughed making Jungkook smile at him.
"I don't know" Jungkook shrugged his shoulders "what I do know is that getting laughed at by my mates was really embarrassing" he said and Taehyung laughed softly.
"Are kids in school mean?" Taehyung asked, eyes wide as he waits for an answer.
"only when you get on their nerves" Jungkook answered
"Has anyone ever gotten on your nerves before Jungkook?" Taehyung asked again and Jungkook's mind immediately drifted to Jimin, the boy got on his nerve from day one but he wasn't going to tell Taehyung that, not when Jimin was his close friend.
"A few, how about you?" He asked back "has anyone gotten on your nerves before?"
"a few too from the orphanage" Taehyung answered and they became silent for a while
"Jungkook do you have a problem with Jimin?" Taehyung broke the comfortable silence, the question making Jungkook eyes widen slightly, he didn't think Jimin would tell Taehyung about their feud.
"No" he answered "we don't get along too well but that isn't a problem" Jungkook added.
"Jungkook you know of that saying where they say 'an enemy of my friend is my enemy too'" Taehyung said as he stopped walking to face Jungkook. "it's a problem if you don't get along with him because then we both can't get along well, you understand what I'm saying right"
"I do" Jungkook answered with a sigh
"When Jimin found out about us being friends, he didn't like it and said a lot of bad things about you" Taehyung said and Jungkook sighed again.
" can you get along with him for me Jungkook because I really don't like it when my friends don't like each other" Taehyung pleaded playfully as he took Jungkook's hand in his "Pleasssssse" he added when Jungkook looked hesitant.
"Fine I'll try but no promises" he gave in making Taehyung squeal as he hugged him.
"That's enough for me" he said against Jungkook's neck and just before Jungkook could wrap his arms around him he let go of the hug.
"Come on let's go" Taehyung said grabbing his hand as he moved forward dragging Jungkook with him.
At this point Jungkook was very sure he was falling deeply in love with Taehyung, if the beating of his heart isn't proof enough then he doesn't know what is.
After a while they arrived in front of Taehyung's house.
"we're here Jungkook, do you want to come in with me?" Taehyung asked hopefully but as much as Jungkook wanted to spend more time with Taehyung, he had assignments that were due very soon.
"I'm sorry Taehyung" he said and Taehyung's expression faltered "maybe next time" he added quickly not liking the look on the other's face.
"Fine" Taehyung said with a smile "remember to befriend Jimin then maybe one day we can all hang out and he'll see that you're not bad after all" he reminded as he walked up the few stairs towards the door.
"okay, goodnight Taehyung" Jungkook wave.
"Goodnight, see you tomorrow?" he asked hopefully making Jungkook nod his head in agreement
"I'll see you tomorrow" he said as he watched Taehyung give a small wave before going into his house.
Jungkook walked away only after Taehyung shut the door after him.
Taehyung looked through the window to see Jungkook walk away and he smiled, it felt nice to have someone to talk to, to have a friend that would listen. He liked Jungkook even if he barely knew him, he liked that the boy was his friend.
He turned around with a happy sigh and walked towards walked towards where he had charged his phone but found nothing there.
"where did I put it?" He asked himself as he moved some things away from the table to check and when he couldn't find it he looked around the room only to see his money jar on the floor with it's lid open.
"No" he cried as he knelt close to the jar and slowly picked it up, he turned the jar upside down so that his money would fall out
"No no no no please no" he cried quietly when nothing fell out and continued hitting the jar on the floor.
Just as Taehyung was about to start wailing Jimin walked in with two shopping bags in his hand.
"Jimin I think we've been robbed" Taehyung cried as he looked up at Jimin "they took the phone and the money I've been saving" he added sadly as he showed Jimin the empty jar.
"we didn't get robbed Tae" Jimin answered with a sigh, "I took the phone and your jar money"
"What!"
